Visual MP3
Database stores all the information of MP3s. It uses "flat" database
technology and makes great improvements over previous systems in data
storage efficiency and hard disk usage.

What's the
information needed for a new dialog box?

You must
give the Title, Artist, Album and MP3 Filename. It's recommended to
specify the MP3 Filename. The rest
can be filled in automatically.

How can
mp3 songs be loop-played?

You can
turn it on or off in Options dialog box.

How can I
delete the current record without confirming?

Put a check
mark in the "Delete without being asked" checkbox before you delete it.

Why does
the Lyric Bar disappear?

It will be
automatically hidden when the Lyric Bar is in an Active Bar state. You can
show it by choosing Tools|Show.

Why does it
pop up Edit dialog instead of playing it when I double-click a record?

You can
double-click the title bar of Playlist.

How can I
change the Playlist window to a mini bar?

Just
double-click the title bar of it. Double-click it again can restore it.

How to
inform Visual MP3 when some file on the hard drive has been moved to a
different directory?

You may
choose Tools|MP3 Files Scan Wizard so as to bypass the already existed
records and just add new ones.

Can I use
Visual MP3 to list mp3 files in CD systematically?

Yes, you
can. But some writing operations will be bypassed automatically.

How can
I show the lyrics of songs?

After you
get an ALC lyrics file, you have two ways to make Visual MP3's lyrics
playing engine run.
1: Write the ALC file into mp3 files and Visual MP3 can then recognize the
edited mp3 files automatically. It will not make the mp3 files unplayable
by other mp3 players.
2: You can specify the ALC file for MP3 record. You just need to select
the to-be-specified mp3 record. Click the Edit button on the toolbar and
choose the ALC file in the popup dialog box.

How can I get ALC lyrics?

You can use
our supplied tool Active Lyric Seeker to seek it online and download it.
Alternatively you can use Active Lyric Maker to create or edit lyrics.

Must I log
on every time I want to use Active Lyric Maker?

No. You
just need to log on for the 1st time, and your information will be
recorded automatically.

What will
be uploaded when I release my lyrics?

Your user
information besides ALC file.

Why can't I
register? Why can't I release my lyrics?

Please make
sure you are well connected to the Internet.

What is
the difference between ID3 V1 Tag and ID3 V2 Tag?

ID3 V1 Tag
is the 128-byte ending information of mp3 file which includes Title,
Artist, Album, Comment, Genre, Year and Track Number while ID3 V2 Tag is
the head of mp3 file which can contain more information.

Why
can't Visual ID3 clear out some files' ID3 V2 Tags?

It is
because these files aren't according to the industry standard for they may
have been edited by some outdated software. More and more software are
according to the ID3 V2 industry standard now.

I
expected the software to automatically pick up all the id info (e.g. album
name, track title etc) but it doesn't seem to do this. What should I do?
Am I right to expect this or do I have to type the title of each track?

Visual MP3
has a lot of ways to get ID3 v1/v2 tags automatically. (Such as MP3
Files Scan Wizard and New/Edit Dialog) But some MP3 files do not have both
ID3 v1 and ID3 v2 tags, or they do not use an industry standard of ID3
tag.

Why
can't Visual Ripper rip any track?

Please try
the following steps:
1.Try resetting all values to their defaults in the Options dialog.
2.Try changing jitter correction values in the Options dialog.
3.Try using the "Auto-detect" read algorithm in the Options dialog.

It seems
to rip very slowly, why?

Try
checking the "On Error" jitter correction in the "Options" page. This mode
is faster than the "Always" setting, and should produce results comparable
to "Always".

Is ID3
information not available on the CD so you can just copy it during
ripping?

No. The CD
tracks only contain sound information. You can put ID3 tag before rip
tracks.

Please note
that you have to enter the license name and key exactly as given in your
license message, with the same spacing and case. Do you have a
correct version of license key for the Visual MP3 you are trying to
unlock? Please note that each version of Visual MP3 needs a different key.

If I pay
for the program now, how long will it take before I receive my license
key?

This
depends on the payment method you use. If you
order online with your credit card, you will have your key after you
submit the order from and an email with unlock code will be sent to you
within a few minutes.

I have
purchased a license for a previous version of Visual MP3. Do I have to pay
again for the new version?

No, you

inform you if new version released.
